Re: My brand new TC35D...
I don't think it would hurt anything to just remove the hose and drain altogether, just won't be as handy to drain the coolant. I looked at the possibility of branch damage when I installed my valve and may still do something different in the future.Let us know what you do.

Hey kc,
Thanks for the part numbers. Ordered on Wednesday, received on Friday and installed. Works as advertised. Being all thumbs, had to top off the coolant reservoir w/ about a pint. Now, ready for old man winter.

Re: My brand new TC35D...
Thanks for the part #'s. Fixed mine this morning. Haven't put the hose clamps on yet, but wanted to go ahead and post a picture. Cut off a little more hose between the drain valve and radiator to keep it close to the frame.
Thanks again.

Re: My brand new TC35D...
Exactly what mine looks like....
There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are very, very few old bold pilots. And they get scarcer every day.

Re: My brand new TC35D...
I have to again post how important doing something to block the flow of coolant through the drain lines is. Plug it, remove it, but do not do nothing. The engine should not be run cool. Even in warm climates, unless the tractor is worked extremely hard, the engine will not warm to "normal" temp, which is mid-range on the gauge. If your in doubt, just clamp or pinch the line from the radiator off about midway between the radiator and drain valve. Use a small c-clamp or something to pinch the hose temporarily. I guarantee that the engine, even only idleing, will raise in temp to mid-range in about ten minutes or so. If your working it, it will be even quicker. New Holland/Ford has had this problem for over 14 years, since the introduction of the xx20 series, but it's still there. Try it, you'll be amazed!

Re: My brand new TC35D...
I put the first 35 hrs on my TC45 without the fix. What kind of damage do think this problem caused during these 35 hrs? You would think NH would change their current design on something that is so easy to fix.

Re: My brand new TC35D...
I put a hundred or more hours on my old 1720 before doing something (cardboard first and then the valve) without any "noticeable" damage. All I know for sure is that anyone who knows anything about engine life and wear states that both diesel and internal combustion engines should be run at normal operating temperatures and the quicker the engine gets to these normal temps, the less wear. I wouldn't worry about the little amount you've already run the engine while cold, but get it corrected as soon as possible.

Re: My brand new TC35D...
Oh Sh*%! Are you guys sure it was ok to install the shut off valve?????? I haven't put but a approx 1.5 hrs on my TC45 since I installed the valve and now old blue is leaking coolant at the block. Anyone else experienced this? See attachment for the exact location (At the 2 o'clock position above the oil filter).

Re: My brand new TC35D...
I haven't had any problems with mine.
Where exactly is the leak coming from? If it is leaking between the block and the fitting that screws into the block, then all you need do is remove the fitting, tape it with teflon tape (or other thread sealing compound) and re-install. If it's at the spring clip holding the hose on, replace it with a band clamp. The pressure on the system would fail the hose before causing damage to either of these two joints.
